Question
Can a 1.5-year-old boy drink soy milk after his fever has subsided?
Answer
After the fever has subsided, it is advisable to first determine the cause of the baby’s fever and observe his symptoms. Before the cause is clearly identified, you can choose to provide the baby with easily digestible foods such as rice porridge or thin gruel. If the baby has a history of allergies or intolerance to legumes, then soy milk should be avoided. Additionally, ensure that the baby consumes enough fluids to help the body recover.
